Guy In Charge of World’s Money Jailed For Sex Attack On Hotel Maid

How are the people in charge of the money treating the people who serve the people in charge of the money these days? Still not so good, it seems! International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was hauled off an Air France flight just before departing New York, all because the cops say he tried to rape a hotel maid and then made a hasty departure for the airport. (Also: These sorts of people have “standing access to Air France’s business class,” so there’s no need to make reservations or whatever. The good life!) Maybe some world leader did something nice over the weekend, too. Who knows. Does Google News have a section for that?

Anyway, this guy was supposedly running for president of France, so that means “everybody” knew he had weird sexytime habits, allegedly. Have you ever been in some four-star hotel and thought, “Eh, maybe I’ll rape somebody from the housekeeping staff”? Is this a normal thought, in the minds of the rich and the powerful? Sure seems to be common enough with the Eurozone’s leaders. What is wrong with this crowd?

What is wrong with everything? The Internet! We haven’t touched the computer all weekend, both because it was the weekend and also because, tonight, our power went out for like nine hours. And we wanted to save the last bit of battery juice to put on the classical station so we could sleep peacefully, but no, the power had to come back on, and we just had to check Google News, just in case! It gets dull, this habit. We remember turning off the lights and locking the office door about fifteen years ago so we could spend the three-day weekend drinking beer outside and eating psilocybin mushrooms in the park because it was a rare sunny holiday in San Francisco, and then we checked the news wires “just in case” and Princess Diana had been killed in that car crash in Paris, so there went the pleasant holiday weekend. Type type type, for the Internet.

Anyway, everybody in the “service industry” should be especially careful over the coming weeks, because the rich & powerful are getting extra weird. [New York Times]

Single best rock show I ever saw was the Nick Lowe & Rockpile/Mink DeVille/Elvis Costello tour in 1979. I had some friends who thought that the ultimate rock experience was Cheap Trick and I had to drag them to this show – they couldn't thank me enough afterwards.

bumfug

I take that back – I saw Frank Zappa in Frankfurt, Germany and Janis Joplin in Hoechst (suburb of Frankfurt) and since I got to party with Janis' band at the Hotel Intercontinental after the show, THAT would have to be the best rock show experience. Zappa's concert was the best rock show ever, though, no doubt about it.

"If you can remember the '60's you weren't really there." Robin Williams.

All I can remember of that Jimi Hendrix concert in Seattle is the dust drifting through the spotlights like stars drifting in space creating galaxies. Proably the soundtrack got me going on galaxy creation. (I actually I do remember "scuse me while I kiss this guy" Seemed a little odd for galaxy creation, but I was very deep in the flow.)

Saw Hendrix at Winterland in SF in '66. Mostly I remember the hippy passing out ginger snaps in the squooshed-together crowd.

Thanks Ken for being gentle with us this Monday AM. Usually your posts make me want to slice open a vein before/during/after my morning coffee.

sati_demise

oh, the details are a bog of mess……he left the hotel so fast he forgot his cell phone, there seems to be some kind of dna evidence, police wanting to check out the old boy for scratches and more dna testing. He has a sordid 'history' of a sexual nature. She hasn't got a chance in hell of winning this case even if her story is true.

bumfug

You listed four reasons he's fucked and then decide this means she can't make her charges stick?

HarryButtle

Yes, exactly. There's no doubt he's guilty, but in the end, it won't matter. He fucked her in the hotel room, and he'll fuck her again in the courtroom.

proudgrampa

I fear you're right, Harry. A hotel maid might as well be a Southern Plantation slave for all the rights she has. God help her if she's ethnic.

riverside68

But there is a critial element in this case: He's a frog in New York.

DC got no pull in New York, and Frogs can fuck themselves.

Every single person who ever met anyone in her family has already been contacted by any number of lawyers. He's gonna have to plead to simple assault so her lawyers don't have to litigate the civil settlement. She's gonna get paid, not as much as the lawyers, but you gotta understand: her expenses are much lower.

She gets deported for her troubles?

Definitely deported–on the Law and Order SVU version, anyway. Elliot and Olivia will has a sad about it.

"You listed four reasons he's fucked and then decide this means she can't make her charges stick? "

It seems to me that sati listed four reasons that *an ordinary guy that wasn't an uber-wealthy big shot* would be fucked, not four reasons *he's* fucked.

"hotel maid" pretty much always equals "underpaid immigrant from a developing country", right? I only ask to see if this is simply a continuation of the IMF's well-established penchant for royally fucking over brown people.

Anyway, this is gross. I hope she is okay and that he actually gets punished.

finallyhappy

enslaving and sexually abusing household employees is pretty standard in much of the world. I guess this guy forgot he was in NYC and that it wasn't his house

Tundra Grifter

KS: To be dead serious on a Monday morning, the woman had the guts to report it. That's an extraordinarily difficult thing to do – also an important first step to get rapists off the street and where they belong.

As they used to say on Miami Vice, put the guy in a cell with Boogaloo Brown…

comrad_darkness

First off, a hotel of this caliber handles its staff very well. Unhappy staff do not provide 3k a night level of customer service.

Secondly, I was impressed by the response from the NYPD. They didn't dick around second guessing who was accusing whom. Very égalitarian country we got here. Suck on that, French Minister Type Person.

In all fairness, he wasn't royally fucking her over, he was trying to get her to blow him. Just sayin'.

Negropolis

How did this get any thumbs up, let alone three? First off, from all reports, he first tried to rape her and she fought back, so he ceased that attempt, dragged her into the bathroom, and then decided it'd be less work to get a blow job. It'd have no mattered either way, though. This woman – if all of this is true, of course – clearly tried to rape her and then sexually assaulted her.

"In all fairness"? Are you fucking serious?

Helpful hints from the Fuddy Bummer squad

zappadoo76

From the article: "Is this a normal thought, in the minds of the rich and the powerful? Sure seems to be common enough with the Eurozone’s leaders."

It's not just Eurozone leaders. Remember Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank? Technically speaking, he's an American. Forced to resign over pussy.

And let's not overlook St. Julian of Assange, from Down Under. Brilliant, brave, and self-destructively addicted to pussy.

It gets everyone into trouble, guys. This obsession. Just ask yourself sometime: how far am I willing to go? How much will I risk? What sacrifices will I make? What means am I willing to take?

It's really not that great, you know? Good, but so are char-broiled hamburgers.

As the great artist/theoretician Chris Rock once observed, regarding the Ellen DeGeneres/Anne Heche breakup, when Anne Heche showed up at someone's doorstep in the great San Joaquin Valley babbling about God just days after breaking up with DeGeneres, "It don't matter if you are a man or a woman, that stuff (pussy) will drive you crazy."

Plus he just naturally assumed he could buy his way out of everything, because surprise surprise, did you know that when your job is to protect the distribution of the world's money, you get to keep a shitload of it for yourself? It's just common sense!

Hey now, yes it is true that pussy can lead men to make some horrendous mistakes, to do some evil, to take a few liberties with their female party guests, its true.

But you have to keep in mind the other side of the coin. EVERYTHING that men do (hetero men) they do for pussy. Everything, good and bad. Everything, art, literature, commerce, everything, they do it all for the nookie. So, when you are crossing the GWB, remember, George Washington Roebling, he invented the suspension bridge, for the pussy. When you fly on a 747, remember, the Wright brothers, they did it for the pussy. The list is endless.

ttommyunger

People are different, no big deal. I happen to have lived my 70 years thinking that pussy is not just great; it is the greatest. Later years have allowed me to discover that a hard dick is a much better servant than master. This French Putz has not learned that lesson, ergo, his present situation. She was prolly angling for more than a quickie of some type, most women are. He was just wanting to get off.

Strauss-Kahn? Sounds like the name of one of those filthy Jews who left the Third Republic, in the words of the leading Vichy polemicist, Robert Brassilach, smelling like “an old syphilitic whore, stinking of patchouli and yeast infection, still exhaling her bad odors, still standing on her sidewalk,…” Or, maybe not. Nazi-sympathetic invective for the Wonkette's most style-conscious readers or not, Strauss-Kahn is coming off as an evil psycho. But, then, I have class sympathies, at least with women working in hotels for, usually, utterly crap-tastic little sums of money for very long hours. Well. O.

"Have you ever been in some four-star hotel and thought, 'Eh, maybe I’ll rape somebody from the housekeeping staff'?"

"Thought"? I'm not so sure. I think it's more along the lines of, "Have you ever been in some four-star hotel and just assumed the maid was asking for it because who can resist your wealth and power and she probably doesn't speak French OR English?"

The guy can speak pretty much any language you'd expect a NY hotel maid to speak.

I thought Benny Hill had died. This is straight out of the Benny Hill show. I wonder if he put that music on, the music that always played when Benny would be chasing a chambermaid around the room?

Yakety Sex!

Then they would have to chase each other on giant tricycles.

No, my problem was that for weeks afterward, I couldn't turn on a TV set or pick up a newspaper (hey, it was the olden days!), without being deluged with maudlin sentiment. The first time I saw a newspaper headline that said, "Car Crash Claims Diana", I thought, "Huh. That's too bad.". A week after that, I was so sick of all the coverage, I was ready to dig her up and kill her again.

There's many ways to conduct rape. This guy figured he'd give each a try at least once.

Obviously, he was set up by Dick Wolf.

Yeah, well, she was totally asking for it, all dressed in that provocative maid uniform.

See, this is the thing I don't understand. You're chief of the IMF. You are, literally, in charge of all the money, for the world.

Couldn't you, just, I dunno, pay for it? I know, I know, rape's about power, not just about sex, but again: head of the IMF. Whether this is about sex, power, or some hithertofore unheard-of combination of the two, it literally. makes. no. sense.

"Have you ever been in some four-star hotel and thought, “Eh, maybe I’ll screw somebody from the housekeeping staff. Oh this girl looks nice, I'll do her. And I always get what I want and no one ever tells me 'no' and I'm not sure what that means because I always get what I want." Is this a normal thought, in the minds of the rich and the powerful?"

Yes.

Depends on the 'shroom I guess. My one-and-only peyote experience was very pleasant and mellow, but only after I barfed my guts out. Of course, for all I know I was eating artificially enhanced dried Safeway mushrooms.

Notice how the *woman* with all the money in the world, i.e. Oprah, does *not* assault anybody; she goes shopping in Paris.
I'm just sayin'.

I am not sure what the issue is as this seems to be how the IMF works in general.

The one thing that really perplexed me was the hotel issuing a statement that the maid had never had any discipline issues. I have had bad hotel employees before, and yet somehow raping them never came up as a means to complain about poor service.

Ron Paul (on Fox News Sunday) says "These are the kind of people that are running the IMF and we want to turn the world finances and the control of the money supply to them."

As opposed to Ron Paul. Some choice. No wonder the Japanese stuff their cash into a box in the closet.

Not pro-rapist, but doesn't this asshole get the benefit of the doubt, or at least a trial? Paul is a total dick.

That's what craigslist is for.

If you don't want to get raped, then don't wear a maid's costume. There's absolutely no other reason to wear one. I bought my first one when I was 18 years old and it still fits perfectly!!!
